Matthew 2:17New Messianic Version BibleThen was fulfilled that which Yirmeyahu [Our God has uplifted] the prophet spoke: See the chapter |
Then Herod [heroic] saw that the Astronomers had outwitted him and was very displeased. Being grieved at heart, he commanded that word be sent to all his princes to kill all the male children who were in Beit-Lechem [house of bread] and its borders who had been born from the time when the star appeared, which he had determined when the Astronomers spoke to him concerning the birth of the Boy.
Then was fulfilled the word of Zechariah the prophet: “And I said to them: ‘If it is good in your eyes, make out my wages, but if not, refrain (restrain; refrein from acting). So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver’. And Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] said unto me: “Cast it into the treasury, the goodly price that, that one, was valued by them’”. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them into the treasury, in the house of Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]”.
